What is a brake caliper?
First, let’s take a look at your brake system and understand what a
caliper does. A caliper is a component of a disc brake system – the
most common on today’s passenger vehicle. That system relies on
hydraulic pressure to operate. When you press on the brake pedal,
force is exerted through fluid inside a network of hoses and tubes
to the wheels. Attached to each wheel is a heavy metal disc called
a brake rotor. As your wheels roll down the road, the rotors spin
with them. Sandwiched around each rotor is a pair of brake pads.
Those pads are suspended in a hydraulic clamping mechanism – the
caliper.
Every time you step on the brakes, the calipers squeeze the brake pads against the rotors in the same way someone in a wheelchair might grab the wheels to slow down. A bicycle works in a similar fashion. When you grab the brake lever, a cable actuates a caliper to squeeze a pair of rubber brake pads against the sides of your bike wheel. In each case, friction is created and the kinetic energy of a body-in-motion is converted to thermal energy to slow you down and bring you to a stop.
What are the signs that a caliper has gone bad?
Fortunately, your brake calipers are designed to last. Where your
brake pads are designed to wear out with use (your rotors too, to
some degree), a caliper is not considered a wear item, one that
needs regular replacement. That said, they do sometimes fail. How
can you tell? A bad caliper might present itself in the following
ways.
During an inspection.
The best way to detect a faulty brake caliper is to have your brake
system inspected regularly. A technician can spot the early warning
signs of a failing caliper – corrosion, dirt buildup, leak,
reluctant guide pins, and more – before they become a major issue.
If a caliper already has problems, the technician might notice
uneven brake pad wear resulting from a caliper that is either stuck
open or stuck closed. Many repair shops offer some form of courtesy
check with every oil change service where a technician will check
the condition of major vehicle systems and components, including
your brakes. Otherwise, you should schedule an inspection at least
once a year.
